Do you know what absolute happiness is? For me, it is to wake up my kids in the morning - these little pieces of innocence - to wake them and find they're so happy to see me! It is unequivocal love, no question about it.
— Michael Douglas
When you are a celebrity, nothing remains secret for very long.
I don't know about Brad Pitt leaving that beautiful woman to go hold orphans for Angelina. I mean how long is that going to last?
For an actor, it's great fun to play one of these hungry white sharks. Audiences love to hate them.

When you're making pictures out of heartfelt passion, it hurts when someone calls them a calculated business move.
I'm a risk-taker. Most of my career has not been a joyful experience, but it has been challenging. I like the dangers.
I met Michael Milken for the first time with Oliver Stone at the Drexel Burnham offices in Los Angeles.
The one thing that men and women have in common - they both like the company of men.

I'm an optimistic guy.
Everything's so repressive now - it's the No generation. You can't do anything, you can't eat anything, you have to abstain.
I'm impressed with the people from Chicago. Hollywood is hype, New York is talk, Chicago is work.
Actresses have more fear of being disliked. I, on the other hand, revel in it.
A lot of actors get concerned about their own image, even going so far as to rewrite a movie to best serve that image. All I want to do is be in good movies.
